CS 365 Project 1

Your first project, due January 23, 2002, is to translate the numeric pseudo-code interpreter (described on pp. 11-24), including the loader (pp. 19-20), into some programming language of your choice. Your interpreter should be capable of loading and executing the Mean Absolute Value program (Fig. 1.5) and other (numeric) pseudo-code programs shown in the book.

If you use some unusual programming language, you will have to go out of your way to make sure your program is comprehensible to us. It is your responsibility to make sure we can understand.
Do not worry about simulating floating-point arithmetic or decimal numbers; simply use the arithmetic types and operators of your programming language.
You do not have to try to simulate the 2000-word memory of an IBM 650. Simply declare two 1000-element arrays to hold the program to be interpreted and its data. The elements of the Data array should be floating-point; you can decide the type of the Program array.
Make sure you record your programming experiences in your programming journal.
